About this work & edition details

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can't seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse-Percy could have sworn his pre-algebra teacher turned into a monster and tried to kill him. When Percy's mom finds out, she knows it's time that he knew the truth about where he came from, and that he go to the one place he'll be safe. She sends Percy to Camp Half Blood, a summer camp for demigods (on Long Island), where he learns that the father he never knew is Poseidon, God of the Sea. Soon a mystery unfolds and together with his friends -- one a satyr and the other the demigod daughter of Athena -- Percy sets out on a quest across the United States to reach the gates of the Underworld (located in a recording studio in Hollywood) and prevent a catastrophic war between the gods.

About this work & edition details

Percy Jackson retells the origins and adventures of the Olympian gods from the perspective of a modern demigod who knows their world personally. Rather than presenting the myths as distant history, he comments on the gods' rivalries, choices, powers, and complicated family relationships in his own voice. The collection combines traditional Greek stories with Percy's irreverent observations, giving readers an insider's tour of the ancient figures who continue to shape his life.
